A Long. Sad Journey.

Reverends A. Ragaru and G. Gior-
dana left here yesterday morning for
Victoria where they will join Father
Tosi, who recently brought to that
place the sad intelligence of the muir
der of Archbishop Seghers, on the
Yukon river, far mp in Alaska's frozen
wilds.
Upon joining Father Tosi, the three
priests will proceed to the place on
the Yukon where the body of the
archbishop lies. 1t is about 1000
miles from here and the journey will
consume about three months. They
will go first to Sitka and thence strike
across the trackless wilderness OF
Alaska, accompanied by native guides,
until they reach the Yukon river near
its headwaters. There they will con-
struct raft and float down the river,
going north until they reach the
frozen part; from there they will
travel the remaining distance on
sledges. The body of the archbishop
will not be brought here untll next
winter.
Deceased was a bosom friend OF
Father Hylebos of this city, having
gone to Rome together and being al
most like brothers. Another bishop
will probably be appointed soon to
take the place of Archbishop Seghers

Ben Holidays viii.

Thus far the only will discovered
with the signature of Ben Holiday
affixed is dated 1875, while it is pref
ty certain that at least two others
have been made since then, but as
yet, unfortunately, cannot be found.
The document in question was made
before the birth of his children by his
second marriage, and after bequeath,
ing $4,000 and the homestead at the
corner OF Third and Stark streets to
his wife and the steamer Pelican to
Young Ben (since dead, gives all the
rest and residue of his property to his
daughter Jennie, the countess of
Pourtales,-deceased. Should no
will be found doing justice to the
little children 10y his second wife, it
is feared that Portland will be in
yaded by lot of starveing French
nabobs, and law suits eriSde that will
wreck an estate for the benefit of
lawyers, that If left alone in able
and honest hands for five years
could be so managed as to pay ali
debts and leave a surplus of $500,000.
In view of the none too cordial rela-
tions prior TO Ben's death between
the brothers Holiday, and as legal
differences are liable to rise between
Joe and the heirs of Ben, it seems
hardly fair that Joe should be an ex-
ecutor, in fact his own conscience
and sense of right should tell him TO
decline to serve in that capacity.
There are two grandchildren, and
two children of Ben Holidays over
looked by this will of rs. aud that
such was not the deceased's intention
is self-evident, and that they ought
to get their share is manifest to
everyone. 1t goes without saying
that unless something miraculous
occurs, and no other will be discov-
cred, the one now to be offered for
probate will be contested to the
uttermost.- Welcome.

A NEW DEPARTURE.
Seeking Business Outside The Rar.

Bashfulness or modesty are not
prominent characteristics in the
makeup or a runner for a boarding
house, and anyone who is in the bus
mess of soliciting custom for his es-
pecial caravansary has to rustic or
he will generally he "left," but il was
reserved for a Portland runner for
the Mariners Home" TO show the
very hardest kind OF cast steel cheek
last Monday in going outside the Co.
lumbia bar after recruits for the table
of his hotel up the creek.
Usually the vessel has not dropped
her anchor in-the stream opposite the
city before there are half dozen boats
alongside, but this chap who answers
to the name of Mitchell when softly
spoken had the gall to go out on one
of the tug boats, and going aboard
the Heron while still in the oiiing,
start TO get his work in while thai
vessel was still outside.
Ii an Astoria boarding house keeper
had done this it would be awful: and
severe denunciations would in due
time appear in the Portland papers
on the avaricious nature of men who
not content to wait for the sailors f.
get into the river even, must seduct
and seize their hapless sailor victim:
far ont at sea. But as it is a Port
lander who does il, and he an accredit
ed agent of the Mariners Home. o
course it is all right.

A DESERVED RECOGNITION.
Testimonials For The Cape Life Crew

The saving of human life has In all
ages been duly honored and recogni-
ton made of the service done to the
common cause of humanity by those
who risk their lives to save the lives
of others.
The ancient Romans reserved their
most radiant crown for him who saved
human life, and seated in their ban
quets as the most honored guest was
he who had periled his existence in
the saving of another from death.
The records of our later times are
full of testimonials TO brave
men who on land and sea snatched
their fellow humans from impending
danger. and on this northwest coast,
in this far-of corner of our country.
numerous are the testimonials of
gratitude and recognition conferred
upon those who by their gallant deeds
have justly deserved them.
The latest instance of this kind to
come under the observation of the
writer is the manner in which the G.
r. T. p. .. have expressed their feel
ings toward the members of the
crew of the U. S. life saving station
at Fort Candy.
These brave men have been the
means of saving seventeen lives at the
bar this season, and In recognition OF
their gallantry the &. II. L. p. u. has
caused to be made and will shortly
present to the crew suitable remem-
brances of their bravery.
They consist of seven solid gold
medals, and marine glass, now on
exhibition in the window of the New
York Novelty store. The medals are
of very handsome design. A gold
life-b boat, TO which is appended pair
of crossed oars, surrounded by {
wreath of laurel, surmounts a media
abont the size of $40 gold piece, OF
which appears on one side: Pre-
sented by the G. II. T. p. U. for brav,
and meritorious conduct In rescuinG
lives" On the other side is engraved
on each the name of the man 10 WHOM
it is to be presented, II. ). l.. ). 5

value of the entire eight testimoni
ais being over 5000, though, doubtless

Tar Russian government has de-
cided to enter upon the work of
building a line of railway across 81
IBERIA. from the borders of European
Russia to the Pacific Ocean, the prob
able eastern terminus of the line to
be. the port of Vladivostok, on the
Japan sea. 1t is estimated that 1T will
require five years to complete tins
line. bat at the end OF that time it
will be possible to travel from St Pc
tersburg to the Pacific ocean In fifteen
days. This will materially reduce the
time now required to make a circuit
of the globe. 1t is possible now to
improve on the once sensational asser-
ton of round the world in eighty
DAYS" in consequence of the greater
rapidity of water transportation. But
by the short cut suggested above,
assuming that regular connections
connections could be made, it is not
unlikely that the traveller who was
willing to go on without stopping fol
occasional rests could make this cir
cult in approximately fifty days
That is, starting from New York, i
would require seven days TO go to Lon
don, three days from London to st
Petersburg, fifteen from there to the
Pacific, nineteen days for crossing
that ocean, and six days from San
Francisco to his starting point
While at present there is no connect
ing line on the Pacific with Vladiyos
tok. the distance from that point tC
the trade centers of Japan is relative
ly short, and if trans-Siberian rail
way is built one may be sure that {
line of swift steamers will be ruI
across the Japan sea in connection
with it, and in this way the regular
steamers plying across the Pacific
could be readily reached. Indeed, il
the speed Of these Pacific steamers
could be increased so as to equal that
of the fast steamers that now eros:
the Atlantic ocean, the allowance O
nineteen days given for passing from
continent to continent might be ap
preciably reduced. We are beginning
to realize that our globe is bnt q
small place, and in generation o.
two more there will not probably bt
any part of the earth's surface, if VT
except the polar regions, that will no
be more accessible to the inhabitan'
of Astoria, for example, than Oregon
was to a resident of Boston two gener
ations ago.

combines the true principles of washing
and gives all and more correct and natur-

the washerwoman. 1t saves time. labor

away with the washboard. Thereby

makes that of washing as light as any
other work day. 1t cleanes the finest
lace or coarsest article of washing, as
carpets, quilts and spreads with ease and

bleaches at the same time.
Mr. Chambers, mover and contractor OF
this city, says the more his wife uses the
futile washer, the better washing she
does and the more she thinks she cannot
do her work without it. A knowledge
of the washer, as to being accustomed to
the handling of it is necessary only, fol
it to be appreciated, and to be in general
use. Remember the futile washer will
